Its about time. I missed her. I read a theory that a reason she hasn't been around bc she realized it was more important for her to be in the future. I hope BotA ends with her taking her rightful place back in the present day.

Somebody mentioned in another thread that if her powers have been growing exponentially after being activated "early" like we saw in Teen Jean, then perhaps she's too strong and needs that helmet to keep them in check.

It was pretty obvious that it isn't the real Jean. If it were the real Jean there'd be news articles all over places like newsarama, bleedingcool, and comicbookresources. Also, they'd have spoiled it months ago for the sake of sales.

I think we've all been thinking this would be the "return" of Jean Grey since they announced Marvel Now. The first thing they did was give Teen Jean all of her future memories. Now we see her return to them as an adult seemingly comfortable seeing all her "old" teammates again. I wouldn't be surprised if The O5 X-Men return to their time and future Jean winds up staying in the present to fill out the roster.......until Marvel's next event marks the return of the original Jean Grey.

It's almost like a technicality at this point. As long as she gets those memories, experiences and emotion associated with them, she's pretty much Jean back. I see it similar to the Illyana situation. She isn't the original character that was introduced in the 80s but she's treated as such and we don't bat an eye at that. If this Jean stays and takes her place among the Xmen with her history intact as part of her past, its pretty much a very similar scenario

Illyana always confused me. So this Illyana is the teen version we met after her first encounter with Limbo that died after Inferno and revealed the original child Illyana inside her husk that would later die from the Legacy virus.

If you're talking about past Jean staying, then I've got 1 major problem. She embodies everything wrong with being a teenager. She's disobedient, impulsive, and 17 different kinds of annoying. I don't want that to be "our" Jean

Nah I'm referring to Jean as an adult. Teen Jean almost seems like a rebooted Hope. If this story ends with her going away and Marvel bringing on another impulsive teen green eyed redhead in a year, I'm gonna lose it
